Eeek! Wow... Sadly I've seen a kid act nearly the same way at the mall, taking food from strangers because mom didn't buy him what he wanted while mom just sat frustrated and dad laughed


...and this is another reason why I hate Chuck E. Cheese

[MotherNature]

wow-horrid child. I kind of feel sorry for him b/c all that is learned. Kids don't just act like that, spitting on people and behaving that way. The employees should have stepped in sooner & seriously..where were the parents???

Disgusting! I never liked Yucky Cheese because it's crowded and easy to loose your child in the mix. Not good for my anxiety.

This child - the article assumes he's 4 - you all work with children and know and I know - he's younger than that. Unsupervised and spitting at people. The one woman that started to take charge dropped him like a lead balloon when she saw the person filming (and probably assumed it was his parent).

I hope they found the parents/guardians and asked them to leave.

It only takes one bad apple...

My WOT won't let me see the video/article. Says it is a malicious site, something about payloads... :confused:

I get the gist, though... Tantrums, violent ones... Starting to see this as a more and more common thing.

This is why we don't go to chuck e cheese. The last time we were there, a kid hit my son with the wack a mole mallet.

I hoped both him and his family (or whoever was there with him video taping/ watching him) got banned for life. If I was a parent and saw a child acting like that I would complain to the manager right away because I wouldn't want my kids to think that is appropriate behavior in public. Plus, on top of teaching him how to misbehave and how to basically be a brat, they are also teaching him how to cheat.

Personally, if I was that woman (and if the manager didn't do anything) I would call the cops because not only is attempting to spit on someone rude, it can also be considered a form of assault- though he might get away with it now because of how young he is; his parents {or "sitters"} could have gotten in trouble and if it becomes a habit he will in trouble for it in the future (that stuff needs to be nipped in the bud). I remember an episode of Charm School where at elimination Sharon Osborn was going to send one a girl home but when Sharon found out another girl spit on her (the spitter was apologizing to her) Sharon immediately sent her home instead and said spitting on someone is illegal.

Though, I'm still surprised Chuck E. Cheese is still up and running (or that people still go there), I remember all the rumors from my childhood (90's) that junky needles were in the ball pits; even if that's not 100% true today, I can imagine the germs and body fluid (staph, flu, MRSA; sweat, blood, saliva, urine, feces?) in the ball pit and those rolling games (especially since he was walking with {presumably sweaty} socks on the roll-way while spitting everywhere); I doubt they (the roll-way and the balls) get washed regularly.

ETA: Great, now my OCD is kicking in and I want to sanitize and boil everything in the house.

Not to mention who knows what nasty things are lurking in that kids spit. Ugh.

Off subject a little, but I was at the mall last weekend and my dd and I were eating in the food court. There was a couple with a 2 year old (or slightly older) child at the table right next to us. The girl (mind you, she had a baby bottle full of juice) was standing on the table and jumping around while the parents cooed over her . This went on for 30 minutes!!

Then she climbs down and goes to a different table (without her parents) and climbs on top of it! This table was next to an overlook of the first floor . There was about a 4 inch clearing to where she could have fallen over! The mom did not seem phased at all and the dad only walked over when half of the busy mall dining area turned around in astonishment! What is up with parents these days!?

Kind of makes you wish people had to pass a psychology exam and basic parenting or Child Guidence class before they could take their babies home. Yes, for the most part not all parents are that bad but there are just some people who shouldn't be allowed to have kids (the fact that child abuse is an issue is enough proof of that).

I saw this on Facebook,and wanted to share it on here, but couldn't figure how. Anyway, I commented something along the lines of, "I wish I could say I'm surprised to see a kid act like this, but I'm not. I've seen it in person too many times. The parents should be ashamed." One thing that drives me crazy about this though, is that it went on for a LONG time and the parents were nowhere to be found. I mean, diff they just dump the kids at Chuck e cheese and leave our were they actually there and not paying attention for that long? Or maybe they were too embarrassed to claim him?

Actually my husband and I took our 2 year old to Chuck e Cheese on a whim to look around since we hadn't been since kids ourselves. It was being remodeled and so was cramped dark dirty and stinky. I just took my group there after the remodel in middle of day and it was excellent. Almost empty so no kids to worry about really. Bright clean and tons of fun. We definitely will go again as long as the new lasts and the weather warms up.

I don't know how to see the video but I get the gist.

I am rather disturbed also that a complete stranger would tape it and then put it on the internet??? (if that is what happened). Wow, if someone would take a picture of MY grandchild and then splash it all over the internet I would be livid. I wonder if that is illegal. It is kind of scary how anyone can be taped doing anything and it can go viral.

Does this help? I don't know if it's any different for you clicking on this, rather than on the website. ??

I understand why the employees didn't step in more. Touching someone else's child is just waiting for a lawsuit. These are minimum wage employees and I'm sure they have rules against touching, grabbing or even discipline a child with words.
I don't even care about the person who taped it as long as he wasn't related.
As for the parents, I wonder if they dropped him there for cheap daycare or if he was a partygoer and the host was busy and the parents bailed.
Either way it's ridiculous this child has no one to guide him as he obviously needs it.
I know I read a story about Chuck E Cheese being a place parents drop kids for free daycare as well as WalMart. I was at the pool years ago an saw an infant in a float in the baby pool, she had a 3 year old (aprox.) playing with her the whole time but no parent in site. I watched for an adult for hours as I watched those two kids like a hawk waiting for the baby's float to flip. It got time for us to go and I still hadn't seen an adult so I grabbed the kids and walked up to the manager station (the whole time thinking their parent was going to intervene). It turned out mom had just dropped them off at the pool for free daycare, the idea was so foreign to me it was hard to grasp. It was years before I started doing daycare and I was young so I didn't know if I had a right to get involved or not and was totally afraid I'd get in trouble for removing the children from the pool so I did all I could think to do and just watched them. I'm sure other pool goers thought they were with me and that's why they didn't do anything. The police showed up and that was the last I heard. I forgot to mention the baby area of the pool is only a foot deep so there was no lifeguard as parents are expected to watch them closely. I'm sure the mom got the kids back if she ever even list custody. I wish the law would start deciding to do what's right for the children instead of what they decide is fair for the parents. Being related to a child shouldn't give you more right to them if your a horrible parent . You shouldn't get your children taken away by DHS time and time again and continue to get them back.
